In his elegant ballads and weeping guitar solos, singer/songwriter Amir Lev reveals the complex mosaic of his life. Lev released his debut in 1991, and by the next year, he was singing with Shlomo Artzi. He continued to dig in as one of Israeli rock's premier voices through the decade and beyond. Lev's sandpapery voice is but a whisper on his quieter tracks, and he knows how to kick up some dust when the time is right. Those unexpected moments—an eruption of distorted guitar, the pound of drums—keep you engaged, while Lev's bittersweet stories give his music a gorgeous, personal touch.
